    It has been my after gym routine to make my post workout food and get time on the computer while I eat. HOWEVER, my computer time seems to be getting out of hand. I need to reel it back in. Yesterday post workout computer time turned into several hours. I was running around before the kids got home trying to get my 'chores' done so it didn't look like I sat on the computer all day. For real. I'm a grown adult, I know better. Work first, play later.

    Today, I have plans to clean the house, so while I want to comment on everybody and read more.... I've got to work before I can play! :sad: :bigsmile:

    Later team. Have a good one.

    Marla- Another woot for the ticker! We haven't had unbearably cold weather here lately, but today is a different story. It was 17 degrees when I left this morning, and they are calling for snow overnight. Ewww.

    Jeannie- Glad you are feeling a little better!

    Kati- Hope your little ones are feeling better soon.

    Everyone else- Hey, hey hey! (think Fat Albert here)

    Sitting down eating my very yummy lunch of leftover chicken cacciatore from the other night...so good. Might be a busy weekend...BF's dad is having his second back surgery in as many years. We're hoping that this one is more helpful. I think he's supposed to go in at 1, so prayers/good thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Shuntae - I am sending you the cold temperatures. Would you be so kind to keep it for a while? We could really us a break in temps right now. When I left this morning it was 3 degrees outside. Not including our windchill. Right now it's 13. But feels like 3. Tomorrow morning we'll wake up to a balmy 4 degrees. But, by Sunday we'll be 25 for a high. I'm hoping to send the kids outside, even it for only 30 minutes. I am SO OVER WINTER!!!!!! :grumble:

    Shuntae - Meant to thank you for wishing my kiddos well. Seems to be going around but fortunately it's been short lived, so I hope that remains the case for us. Stay safe this weekend.

    Yes, Ma'am, Shuntae-- we're not far from you up here in Jersey-- brrrrr, baby. Freezing.gif

    Heard the wind howling last night at my desk, no way in H-E- double hockeysticks I was venturing out in it. Yes, I'm getting faggy this year-- just can't battle the elements along with everything else right now-- hate being a wimp, but it is what it is right now.

    OK, it is snowing in SC. They had to cancel our USS Yorktown trip because it was supposed to snow and it actually is! Most of the time they call for snow and we get nothing or just enough freezing rain to knock the power out. DH has to work this weekend and he is so sad that he will have to work graveyards and sleep while it is snowing:sad:

    Thanks Jeannie,
    You are always so positive. I guess I'll have to send my 2 year old to kindergarten:tongue:
    Food is such a challenge for me.
    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Jan~ I hear you about the eating off your kids plates. I have a 3 1/2 and a 1 1/2 year old. I think that is why I give them foods that I won't eat. Chicken nuggets! :sick: Cheese slices that have been chewed :sick: pasta that has had grimmy fingers all over it :sick: Fish sticks dipped in ketchup :sick: think of it that way and you won't eat it!! :bigsmile:

    Samantha, That is so funny. I really need to think of it that way. How do you resist McDonalds french fries, though! I'll take a couple half chewed...ewwwwwwwww that was way too much info. ROFL

    Sam and Jan...........you all have me walking down memory lane.

    I was on one of my many many diets one summer. The kids were eating Micky Ds (which was a treat for them, didnt get that much) when I was entering the room the eldest yelled.......LICK the bun then she wont EAT yours!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    Jeannie,

    I'm dying laughing. That's a cute story:laugh:

    hey tamara, how much snow did you get? i think a couple of weeks ago, we got almost 2 feet on sunday, then the kids had to go back to school on monday! and dh NEVER gets to come home early because of snow. in maine, if there's too much snow to drive, they take the snowmobile or cross country skis :laugh: glad you made it home safe.:heart:

    Shuntae - glad surgery went well

    Tamara - stay safe. Since we get snow all winter long, I sometimes forget that snow is unusual in other parts of the country. We have some good friends who live in Tennessee now, but are from our town. She sent an email one day and you could almost hear her laughter in her words. She said that the kids had a snow day that day. She attached a picture and there was what we would call a dusting. She said the whole city they live in was shut down.

    As I told Shuntae earlier, you can keep it. :laugh:

    You're not too far ahead of us Marla. I think your profile page is wrong.
